"Forbidden Solitaire is easily one of the best indie card games I've played since Inscryption and The Discarded DLC feels like a spooky encore." God DAMN that's high praise. Thank you Tyler! 🥳🤘

Forbidden Solitaire's new DLC is OUT NOW!! Very proud of what the team was able to accomplish with this! This also might be the most oddly romantic story I've written for a Night Signal project? Albeit with a touch of toothy body horror to go with it, of course. 🦷GO FORTH: tinyurl.com/k9uvnahk

I have multiple acquaintances who are incredulous that we're not using AI to code our game/DLC. Tbh, most of our time is thinking, tweaking and polishing anyway, not code. And when there is more code to be done, I get my son help with it, who gets paid, as a human. I'm fine with that.

While testing the DLC I found myself feverishly plotting a path through cards to get one more joker to sacrifice my way into using my triple-damage Mana Storm gem to absolutely OBLITERATE a boss's health bar. Anyway DLC comes out Monday!! ⬇️
